Before the match Stevens gave his reason for attacking his former partner Roderick Strong on October 3rd. He said when Strong hit him with the boot in the corner it brought back horrible memories. Stevens realized he cared only about one person, Erick Stevens and no one in Riot or FIP was going to stop “the Train.”

Davey Richards dominant 2009 continued this past weekend as he became the 7th man to win the Jeff Peterson Memorial Cup. There is seemingly no stopping Davey in his quest to show the wrestling world just who is the very best in the business today. His ?hunt? for the best in competition is taking him to the Land of the Rising Sun in December, as Davey makes his first tour of Dragon Gate Pro Wrestling. He has signed an open contract to defend the FIP World Title while on this tour, but we are awaiting confirmation from the Dragon Gate office in Japan as to when/where those defenses will take place, and versus whom.

One thing is certain, if Richards has his druthers, one of his opponents will be Masaaki Mochizuki, about who Richards said, ?One person I’m coming for with a vengeance is Masaaki Mochizuki. He defeated me in 2007 in Detroit and I’m going to avenge that loss. Get ready Dragon Gate, the hunt is on!”
